(listen to With Everyting by Hillsong. it gives that moving effect lol)

God is good. He is sovereign. He's faithful. and He will complete the very work He has began in us. its just who He is. That work is never done in our timing or on our agenda. Ok, so there's a situation thats been in my life for hmmm... forever! I pray about it daily, trying to figure out what God wants, what's His will. How am I to be obedient in it? when is it going to be resolved? I throw these questions at God daily. and yes sometimes He answers. and sometimes He says, "Ashley, are you kidding me? are you really asking me that today?" so yesterday I was super convicted, I have been before on this. But this time I think it brought repentence truly. it was a game changer! He moved my heart in such a way to be peaceful in trusting Him. To surrender to, "I don't know" even while facing the truth that I might be saying that for a while. But His presence comforts me and humbles me to trust that He's big enough and completely able to take every last little detail of the "I don't know" in my life.

My hearts deepest desire is to bring glory to Him. to do that by advancing the gospel. making disciples. letting my life be used by Him. wholly. With Everything. Yesterday I chose the cross. today I'm choosing the cross and tomorrow I will choose the same thing. Because that is the only place I will find true satisfaction, joy, and peace. I'm setting. fixing my eyes on Him. because if my eyes are there I can't help but be obedient and bring glory to Him. In Psalm 73 asaph is questing God, in vs. 16 he says, "when I tried to understand all this it troubled me deeply till i entered the santuary of God..." when I entered the sanctuary I understood. thats where I want my heart. totally found, fixed, set on Him the very author of our salvation.

"fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of our faith" Hebrews 12:2 even when there's a BIG i don't know.
